Ava Schrager's Studio 54-Themed Quinceañera

I'm Cuban, so having a big fifteenth birthday party is part of
our Latin tradition," says Ava Schrager, daughter of hotelier and
Studio 54 cofounder Ian Schrager. "I had always wondered what it was
like," adds the teen. So, for her fête, Ava decided to bring back the infamous nightclub with the help of event planner Bronson van Wyck.
"We wanted to focus on the essence of Studio 54: a kind of freedom to be
who you are," he says. To make it feel authentic, they hauled in the
club's original lighting system and coated the floor in 2,000 pounds of
glitter, a stunt inspired by a New Year's Eve party held there in the late
1970s. "When I walked into the room, it was beautiful," says Ava. But the
highlight of the night, she proclaims, was hitting the dance floor to her
favorite Justin Bieber tracks. "I danced to pretty much every one of his songs," says Ava. "It was perfect!"
